Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Video is ok of an offence, so is smacking them in the head when they threaten you.

Just making they call scares the shit out of everyone .I have tried the " hay you guys are taking way to many ...got the ...no English! Yes we did confront them ...but we did out numbered them "very brave I know"! ...but to be honest I'm no hero nor heman ..it's strange how agitated they become when you pull out your phone and start talking to ministry of fisheries ... make the call from a safe distance and photo regos etc .putting yourself in harms way is never encouraged !

I caught a big King Fish yesterday in the Kenepuru Sound - by myself and no bloody Gaff
Over 1m in length and couldn't get the fish into boat and lost it.
But it was a bit of fun and nice to see such a great fish sail away to enjoy another day

Just stuff your hand in its mouth and grab it and grab its tail too, they have no teeth to speak of its just your hook you have to be careful of.

Yeah no teeth but the big ones can rub your bark off pretty easy If you don't want to put your hand in grab the leader and the tail. Lip gaff works a treat too for future reference.

Gill plate works too

Had a day at te arai where I sent a bucket full of undersized snapper back to tangaroa. Was allready pissed at them as they cast right on top.of us when we were swimming out then saw them haul a couple babies on the way back in so wandered over the rocks for a word.

They got a bit agitated but people tend to argue less when you are holding a speargun....

Tbf most aren't bad blokes just don't have a clue. Seen some pretty bad stuff here with paua though. Found 50 plus freshly shucked on the sand one day, biggest would have been 90mm. Fuckheads

Just a FYI keep ya speed down in marina (nelson) as its becoming an issue (apparently people can't work out what "5 knots" actually is never mind "3 knots" and "no wake zone" apparently there may be some "fine" times soon

we see it all from workmate. 30 knots towing a ski in the channel is not unusual

I regularly get overtaken heading in by the layup wharf and in towards Talleys.....I generally sit at 5-6 gpsd Knots while some go past almost on the plane and others actually planing!

3 knots is a bit gay most larger boats wont even idle that slow but the point is to create as little wake as possible.

I agree and 3 knots in only in the marina 'proper" was working on the pilot boat today and they were saying the issue is about to be addressed by the harbour master no more warnings apparently.
